The Definition of Leadership Leadership has been called
"The ability to get followers." One of the deepest cravings of human
nature is the need to feel important, to have a sense of meaning and purpose in
life and work. Leaders are invariably those who can tap into the deeper
emotions of others and get them to rise above and beyond anything they may have
accomplished in the past.
Inspiring Words Lead to Victory
Winston
Churchill was able to arouse and inspire an entire nation with words like
these: "Let us so carry ourselves that if the British Empire should endure
a thousand years, men will still say, this was their
finest
hour."
Spearhead A Turnaround
Lee Iacocca
stepped into Chrysler Corporation when the company was almost bankrupt. Through
the
sheer force
of his personality, his unshakable determination, his appeals to Congress, to
Chrysler workers and to Chrysler customers on television, he spearheaded a
turn-around that will go down in
the history
books as one of the greatest achievements in American business.
